The Boys of Summer

July 27, 2007 by Annie

There’s no food in my house.

Surfaces everywhere are sticky and gross.

There are crumbs on the floor and on the sofa and in the computer keyboard (not mine, of course.)

Also candy wrappers and the occasional pistachio shell.

Windows are open while the A/C is blasting.

The back screen was wide open for hours the other night so there are lost bugs flitting about.

There are no clean glasses and half the dirty ones are scattered around the house.

Damp towels are piled in the corner of the bathroom.

I just cleaned the house and did the food shopping two days ago.

September can’t come soon enough.

Argh! I haven't been home so much this summer that dust bunnies have now become an extra dog! I need to clean out M's closet and what am I doing??? We leave again soon and when I get back, one will be in IL for college and the other will have 2 a-days until school starts. Maybe then I'll get something done!

Boy... can I even relate! And yes, I agree with Bluegrass Mama too; DD isn't any better than DS. If I leave the house for more than an hour or so and am not here to police them, I'm faced with exactly what you describe. Mine are well into the teen years... it gets better, when??

Trust me, the girls of summer aren't much of an improvement! Two weeks, 5 days, and counting.
